July 19, Uber, a private car taxi application, has proudly claimed that its premium car service uberX drivers in New York can earn as much as $ 90,000 a year as long as they drive more than 40 hours a week. Drivers in Dallas can also earn $ 60,000 a year.

UberX is a new low-cost taxi service. In New York, UberX is opening low-cost, low-limousine black sedan service. This means that drivers need permission from the Taxi and Limousine Commission in New York City. In other cities in the United States, UberX also belongs to Uber's low-cost co-location service.

Several UberX drivers in New York and Dallas recently interviewed, exposing their real income:

A Dallas-based UberX driver said: "I can make a profit of up to 45 dollars to 55 dollars an hour, making an average of 27 dollars an hour." According to this standard, the driver earns about $ 56,000 a year and 40 hours a week . But this data is only theoretical data, but also deduct the cost of gasoline, no-load costs, simply can not achieve the level of 60,000 Uber boasted.

The driver estimated that he could only earn $ 36,988 a year, calculated on a 40-hour working week, excluding fuel and other expenses. In theory, this driver can make more money, but the problem is that he is not always on board at work.

He said: "As a driver, of course, want to have a total of guests inside the car, the use of time and vehicle utilization to achieve 100%, but this is impossible.You must have rest, there is no load conditions." The driver said His average hourly average is only 44%, meaning he drives only about 44% of his mileage every hour.

Uber recently announced a price cut in an attempt to attract more customers, but the move seems effective. Dallas driver said: "I do not think the demand has increased, Uber decided to make the decision because the driver oversupply due to too many drivers on the road, Uber need to reduce the price."

Of course, for UberX drivers in Dallas, it is not impossible to earn $ 60,000 a year, but that requires drivers to work more than 40 hours a week. The driver in Dallas said: "A driver who works more than 90 hours a week told me that he can earn 78,000 U.S. dollars a year."

In New York, a UberX driver who has been working for 11 months has disclosed that he expects to earn 50,000 U.S. dollars this year and his average weekly working time is less than 40 hours. "You get $ 4,000 a month in net income, and I mean you get $ 5,000 a month, but you need to cut 20% Uber commissions, fuel costs, and other costs," he said.

Even though Uber has said its low-cost service driver in New York earns $ 90,000 a year, it costs at least 40 hours a week to drive. These drivers are less worried because they can still feed their families by acting only as UberX drivers. That New York driver said: "I have nothing to complain, I like Uber."

But other UberX drivers in New York City disagreed with him, and an average driver who worked 40 hours a week said his net income this year could be only 35,000 U.S. dollars. Another driver said: "Uber claimed that the driver's annual income of up to 90,000 US dollars, but no one can drive more than 60 hours a week, it will destroy yourself." (Sail)
